ChargeZone launches Kempower-powered EV charging hub in Gujarat

ChargeZone, an EV charging network in India, launched its first charging hub equipped with Kempower technology in Gujarat. The hub is located at Shreenath Food Hub along a key highway and is operated by ChargeZone and installed by WGB Charging Sol Pvt. Ltd. This marks a step forward in strengthening India’s e-mobility infrastructure.

The hub is equipped with a 400 kW Kempower Power Unit charging system, featuring two double-output and one single-output Kempower Satellite with CCS2 connectors. The site is designed to support both passenger cars and electric trucks, making it one of the first of its kind in India to cater to a wide range of EV users.

Carlo Cecchi, Director of New Markets at Kempower, stated, “We are delighted to work with ChargeZone, one of the leading charge point operators in India. Both companies share a vision of setting up high-quality fast-charging hubs to facilitate intercity and interstate travel. We are committed to maintaining high standards of uptime and reliability, which are essential to building confidence in electric vehicle adoption.”

The Shreenath Food Hub charging site is strategically located between Ahmedabad and Mumbai, offering EV drivers convenient access to charging facilities during their journeys. The Kempower DC charging system ensures dynamic power distribution across the five connectors, optimizing charging efficiency and reducing wait times. The Kempower ChargEye cloud-based charging management system allows ChargeZone to efficiently distribute charging power, enabling more vehicles to be charged simultaneously.
